so instead of forcing corporations to increase their wages which have been stagnant for decades, it's "better" to bring everyone else done to their wage levels..brilliant logic if you are either retarded or in the pocket of those corporations or both..

I didn't see the video since work won’t let me see youtube... but John Stewart is a hypocrite. Very self righteous pompous ahole. It's easy to constantly criticize everyone else and their failures, it's totally different to never actually try to do something yourself though when you can. I'm sure he does some charity work of some sorts and maybe a little volunteering but since nobody lives up to his standards maybe he could take a more prominent role as a leader since he knows it all.

It hurts when America's comedians are the only honest people in the media, doesn't it?

Honest?

Awesome!
He's always on point.

A guy on wall street signed a contract that gives him $500.000 to screw us over and Fox say's a contract should never be broken.....yet a teacher who signed a contract who handles 30 kids and makes $50.000 a year doesn't deserve it because they don't deserve it??

"$250 thousand dollars a year is not rich... it's bordering on poverty!

Given how much Fox News has called teachers unions greedy for their pay and benefit packages, Jon Stewart expected them to have a consistent record of calling out greed in other sectors as well -- perhaps even in the financial sector.

Big surprise: the record is hardly consistent.

On Thursday night's Daily Show Stewart began by pretending to buy into the Fox argument that teachers are grossly overpaid.

"They're not big shot teachers with their desks and seemingly endless supply of colored construction paper."

"Oh! And their number two pencils," Stewart went on. "I suppose Number three pencils aren't good enough for Your Majesty."

He then played footage from just a few months ago that showed Fox anchors wailing that the Bush tax cuts must be extended for people making over $250,000 per year because those people, as one anchor put it, were almost living in poverty.

"See the difference?" Stewart asked. "Regardless of the greed-based, slightly sociopathic job bankers did wrecking our economy, those people were there every single day, twelve months a year."

.

Fox news is about the biggest bunch of wall street suck ups they might as well get down on their knees and blow everyone on the NYSE floor on camera..

a net income of 250K, that's a good gross income of $350K-450K annually.....
